Can you figure out this math problem?
Something that goes 1 inch in 30 days is traveling how many miles per hour?
This isn’t my homework, I just thought about it because I was wondering how fast hair grows (if you can grow it an inch in a month lol)

I’m not doing your homework for you. Seriously this is just a conversion problem.
1 inch = how many miles?
30 days = how many hours?
Divide. ____ miles / ___ hours.
Fellow Flutherers, don’t answer queenz’ question. Make queenz do the work.
Jeez. Come on netxm. Fluther does not exist to do people’s homework
5280 feet equals 1mile, 1 foot equals 12 inches…you will need those to covert inches to miles…and 24 hours for 1 day.
Netxm, I will need to see your work or no credit!
@Perchik it took me 3 minutes…. by the way are you russian
Let’s see.
12 inches in a foot
5280 feet in a mile
24 hours in a day
one inch in 30 days is…one inch in 30 days times 24 hours, or one inch in 720 hours
So to go a mile it would be 720 hours per inch, times 12 inches time 5,280 feet, or one mile in….45,619,200 hours
So, 1/45619200th of a mile an hour, or….
Yep, .00000002192mph
1 mile = 63360 inches
30 days = 720 hours
1/63360=0.000016 miles
0.000016/720=0.000000022 mph
@ Perchik: I guess you lose dude.
Perchik is always a winner in my book (as is “loser.”)
Is that winner or wiener?
Nearly Happy Birthday and have a great New Year!!!!!
Ok, now convert that to furlongs / fortnight. :o)

@dalepetrie Awesome! As an aside, Digital Equipment Corporation’s VMS operating system had a system parameter that was measured in microfortnights (a little over a second).
Wow, I’d never even heard the concept of a microfortnight, very cool!
